Dear Gayle,
you might like to see if you can source filters from "CUNO" they are US
based and are just about the biggest water purification manufacturers
worldwide, they also make the filters for other companies including for
Millipore. I've changed over to Cuno Filters here in Aussieland and they
only cost me about $50 ea. for my MilliRO system. I buy them through my
local Irrigation Farm Supplies, because Cuno Aust. will only sell through
Distributors or to Manufacturers.
regards Mike Rentsch
